The document discusses the F.I.T.T. principle for exercise - Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type. It explains each component of the principle: Frequency refers to how many times per week one should exercise; Intensity refers to how hard the body is working during exercise; Time refers to the duration of exercise sessions; Type refers to the kind of physical activity one engages in. Following the F.I.T.T. principle helps to structure an effective exercise routine tailored to one's interests, skills, and limitations.

16. When you engage in
exercise, ask yourself
these questions?

17. How often should I exercise?
(FREQUENCY)

18. FREQUENCY refers to
how many times you

as not to shock your body. Once your

exercise you can progress to doing
moderate ones. Eventually you will be
able to do high-intensity.

24. Common indicators that your body
is reacting to exercise are:

intensity ones can be done for short
periods of time.
